kennyGT Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 So i bent my axle tubes in my rearend. I found a 96 cobra housing, with 31 spline mosers, c-clip elims., strange spool, 4.56 gears and 3 inch studs. It has zero miles on it and is complete. From my research i know the 94-98 rear end uses a 12mm bolt on the LCA's. When browsing lower control arms i see some say 79-04 and others say 99-04... I have seen multiple threads stating i should get 99-04, and others saying 79-04.. So my question is should i get 99-04 specific LCA's or 79-04's? In my mind it makes sense to get the 79-04 LCA'S cause guaranteed to fit my chassis and this rearend. But the people saying 99-04's cause the 79-04's have too much playCan someone shed some light on this so i can buy a set of LCA's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Just another thing since I noticed you didn't say anything about it, but the axle lengths are different between those early SN95s and your '01. (99+ are longer)I'm not sure about the main question, someone else will have to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330CubeGt Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Kenny its like 1/8 of an inch, you get the bolts good and tight and it will never move. My lower boxes are 99/04 size and im running fox body arms.Heads up and ass kickin! Using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyGT Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) so in otherwords it doesnt matter if i buy specific 99-04 or 79-04?? cause i found 79-04 upper and lowers for 150 compared to lowers for 150 99-04and yes brian i was aware it was shorter, tucks the tires in a little less than an inch i'm ok with it i guess, need the rear pretty quickly and i'm getting this built rearend for the same price you'd pay at a salvage yard. Since it has 3" studs was gonna put a small 1/4 inch spacer i have laying around. Edited November 8, 2012 by kennyGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330CubeGt Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yea pretty much kenny, worst case you would have to drill a sleeve slightly bigger biying year specific. But if its listed 79-04 they will work. Thats what we used on kyles black 00Gt.. The rear is roughly 3/4" in on each side compared to a stock 99+ rear. Not a huge diff tho.. Here is a pic of mine with a 99-04 length rearend w/345s compared to now with the correct length rear and 285s. (same rear wheels)Heads up and ass kickin!
